When you graduate you’ll be ready to start the first stage of professional practical experience in an office before progressing to RIBA part 2 postgraduate study. We offer the opportunity for all undergraduate Home/EU students to undertake a work placement, internship or work experience while studying a full-time course starting in September 2019.

Career Opportunities

Choose to study architecture and you'll gain more varied skills and employability than almost any other professional subject. Our central London location is the perfect place to find inspiration, as well as build your professional networks and take advantage of work experience opportunities. Our strong design and academic reputation creates excellent links into practice.

To qualify as an architect, you need a year’s (minimum) paid professional experience after graduation, followed by a two year postgraduate degree and the final RIBA part 3 examination. It’s a long process, but one you’ve qualified your starting salary could be around £30,000 a year, rising with experience.

As an LSBU graduate you can apply for further study at any RIBA recognised schools. Past students have been accepted at prestigious schools including the Bartlett University College London and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

The RIBA mentoring scheme gives our third year students an insight into architecture as a profession, with input from RIBA chartered members and practices, and is another boost to your employability.
